Spoils Of The Qunari, Because The Best Defence Is No Defence At All

By
Kyle Shimmin

With Dragon Age: Inquisition’s The Descent DLC scheduled for
today, it came to my attention that I had missed a piece of content. Granted it
released out of nowhere on the day I left for some totally necessary R&R,
so what better time to take a look then now?

The Spoils of the Qunari item pack is very similar in
structure to the earlier Spoils of the Avvar pack, which we covered upon its
equally stealthy release in June. Costing £3.99 ($4.99) again, Spoils of the
Qunari doesn’t feel quite as money grabbing as its predecessor. Rather than
repurposing assets, this pack adds new material, at least as far as I can tell.

Let’s take a look, click to enlarge!

Up first, the Shokra-taar armour, which you may recognise as
the Arishok’s armour from Dragon Age 2, both male and female variants.

Next, the Antaam-Saar armour.

Unlike Spoils of the Avvar, where both sets were medium armour,
the Shokra-taar is heavy, while the Antaam-saar is light. There is no headwear,
but as you can see, Bioware continues to demonstrate a penchant for totally impractical revealing armour – Star Wars: The Old Republic continues to corrupt!

The pack comes filled with Skyhold decorations, rather
embarrassingly the items that excited me the most – you can find loot
in any old cave, fine furniture is a different matter entirely. Of course, the part where almost every decoration involves tastefully nude Qunari, has nothing to do with anything.

Last and very much least, another mount. Only one though,
admittedly lookinh more practically and less garish than its Avvar counterparts.
